Great value

Really enjoyed Bidston, greens were immaculate and possibly best we've played this summer.
Would have liked some clearer signage, especially as novices on course (played once before 15 years ago)
Great test and outstanding value

Enjoyable course

Enjoyed my first time playing Bidston. Staff were friendly, course was enjoyable and greens ran nicely. It’s a flat, open course which is rather forgiving and great for novice golfers with not too many hazards. The course is also really easy to get to and is a short distance from the M53. Note there is a public walk path right through the course so be carful to watch out for walkers.

Unfortunately two of the holes were closed for drainage so didn’t get to play all 18. One thing I would like to see some better course signs. There were a couple of times where we didn’t know exactly which hole we were on or where to go next and wasted time walking to the wrong holes.

Will definitely be visiting again and look forward to playing all holes.

Good test in the wind

Travelled over From Liverpool Purchased the round from Golf Now £17.99 bought at 1.00 o’clock was a on course for 2.15 ,2.30 booking
Course was a great challenge greens 8/ 10 tee boxes 6/10 lay out 7/10 pace of play 10/10 overall 8.5/10
,wind played a major factor in round but made the challenge more enjoyable had to think about your shots ,like to see the oob disappear on the front nine no need for them especially for a high handicapper some long hole and some blind tee shots which I like tee boxes could do with a tidy up but minor issue for me not a sole on the course ,so played my one ball but was able to get a bit of practice in which was my main reason for choosing this course basically played two balls ,pro and staff in clubhouse were lovely and managed to shot a good score nett 71 would recommend this course all day long great test well done Bidston and thanks

Fantastic Greens

Although we played Bidston recently in 35mph winds I would recommend the course to anyone. You really have to think and plot your way round. The greens are first class they even have that bit of bounce in them which recent courses I have vised haven't had. The fairways & tees are mowed low and the out of bounds markings and course signs are first class. The only thing that let my experience down was the 19th was well and truely locked up by the time we ended our round (8pm). I would definitely recommend this course and will hopefully return soon and book an earlier tee time to sample a pint.

Played this course following a long period of rain and apart from some temporary tees the course held up well.

Staff were friendly, the course offered value for money my only negative was that the layout was confusing for a first timer (may have been my fault though).

If you want to play a no nonsense, value for money course than I would definitely recommend.

Course and staff.

Lovely well kept and intricate course which can catch you out very quuckly. Staff were great and helpful, even providing a course guide with all the info you need.
Well worth another visit in the spring or summer next year.

Poor

Hard to navigate if you haven't played before as there are no signs for the next hole.
Course not very good condition, bunkers are solid and could do with a rake. Greens are the only positive really, wouldn't plat again.

Not for seniors with poor carry distance

There were two holes were neither of us had the carry distance to clear the deep stuff and we had to resort to the ladies tee.
My main concern however was a couple of holes were people were cycling along a path on the other side of a narrow gap in a hedge we had to hit through. I see this as an accident waiting to happen unless those hedges are removed.

The course need more sign - it was so confusing. The tee area needs looking after. The pace was slow than is expected. The greens were nice.

Bad attitude

I asked the guy in the clubhouse if we could be a little late for our tee time. It was scheduled for 15.40, he said the latest we could tee off would be 15.40, absolutely no leeway. Or we could wait till 5pm and play then, that’s good the place shuts at 5 and we would never finish the round. £42 for nothing, absolutely disgusting.
